Importance of mt4 sessions indicator
The primary importance of sessions in forex trading is that different volume of trading is being done in other sessions. For example, the London session is the most volatile session of trading. A lot of trading activity is done by traders during this session.
On the other hand, the Asian session has low trading activity compared to the London session.
During the London session, the price will make impulsive waves, whereas during the Asian session price will give retracement moves. That’s why trend traders usually prefer to trade in London or Tokyo sessions, avoiding trading during the Asian session.
But it mainly depends on the type of trading strategy.
